Meet SAm

Samantha Westlake (she/her), sometimes Sam Hart, Samantha Westlake-Hart, or another combination of those depending on which of her social media profiles you’re on, is a writer and musician living in Chicago. Originally from Windsor, Canada, a place Stephen Colbert once referred to as “the earth’s rectum,” Sam was a member of the very first class of people to ever receive an MFA in Comedy Screenwriting from The Second City and DePaul University, graduating into the wonderland that was spring 2020. When she’s not working on Hollywood Mutiny or her own under $1 million film projects, she may be found playing the piano and violin, running a marathon, or at her day job working with some astrophysicists.
